Hi there ๐๏ธ,
this is Andreas, a mechanical engineer graduated from Graz University of Technology, based in ๐ฐโฐ๏ธ Graz, Austria ๐ฆ๐น. In my free time, I like running ๐โ, skiing โท๏ธ and snowboarding ๐ while I also enjoy family times at home ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ.
Currently, I'm an engineer in industry (during the day) and a PhD student at Graz University of Technology at the Institute of Structural Durability and Railway Technology (well, at night... ๐ ๐ฏ๏ธ). All the tools related to my scientific work are available here on my GitHub profile.
I'm the author of ๐ FElupe, an open-source finite element analysis package focussing on the formulation and numerical solution of nonlinear problems in continuum mechanics of solid bodies. Most of the open source finite element packages I found are either super-difficult to install, needs to be compiled or are great but slow (or at least too slow for my needs).
With FElupe, I try to fill a gap in between.
I'm convinced that static input files ๐จ๏ธ which are passed to a standalone fea solver ๐ฉ are a thing of the last decades ๐พ. Instead, scripts are input files: easy to adopt scripts with access to third-party libraries ๐, written in common scripting languages are the way to go. With common languages I mean something easy-to-learn for engineers, like Python, Matlab/Octave or Julia, not another proprietary simulation file format. FElupe is just another one of many open-source finite element analysis packages using this approach. Well defined and public available scripting interfaces hopefully accelerate the introduction of flexible natural language-processing for simulations.
